Abstract: We are exploring the possibility of carrying out radio interferometric observations of the solar chromosphere at ≈ 11.2 GHz (λ = 2.68 cm), in both total intensity (Stokes-I) and circularly polarized intensity (Stokes-V), using low-cost commercial dish TV antennas. Here, we present our initial results on the magnetic field strength (B) estimated using data obtained with a prototype set-up, and compare them with similar observations.
